Customer Reviews

I love the look and concept of the "Vuja De" knife. So I purchased three MK-4s, gifting two to my sons for Christmas. On the first couple of days I occasionally practiced a one hand deployment of the knife. As my success rate was improving it suddenly stopped. As I analyzed my technique I realize it is the workmanship of the knife. First, the pin that the moving handle spins on is becoming loose and allows lateral movement, resulting in the locking clip occasionally hits the handle instead of aligning with the slot of the receiving handle. The second problem is the spring (that keeps the locking clip in the optimal position to lock open) is losing its tension. So when the knife handle spins open, if the clip aligns with the slot in the handle, it no longer aligns with the pin within the handle. If you are looking for a unique display knife this is definitely a conversation piece. If you are looking for a practical, functioning karambit purchase a fixed or folding model from this website.
